Description

SummaryDo you want to avoid answering callers at your front door? Do you want to interact with them remotely? Do you want extra security? KickStarter projects too expensive? Too much Hipster BS? Want something free? (CC-Attribution) Well you can 3D print a housing to mount the Xiaomi IP camera with Night Vision (Xiaomi Ants) at your front door! The camera itself cost roughly £20 (US$30?), and you do need some hacking with the hardware, mainly just soldering skills, extra parts required... Undaunted? Read on! Bill of Material: 1) Xiaomi NightVsion Wireless IP camera http://www.banggood.com/Original-Xiaomi-Xiaoyi-Ants-Night-Vision-720P-Smart-Wireless-Webcam-Security-IP-Camera-p-983655.html 2) Micro USB breakout board, a specific one, dimension is important!

Security at home is quite important if you are away or want to feel more confident at home at night when you sleep. About a year ago, I also began to worry about the safety and security of my home and I was looking for information on how to do it in the best way. Then I came across reviews on https://alder-home-security.pissedconsumer.com/review.html and I saw that people usually choose cameras and tracking sensors with an automated security system to control the territory outside and inside the house. It seemed to me a very good idea and I thought about purchasing such equipment.
